Make a slight adjustment

[blaha112]

I am a non biased party. I like the celtics and lakers equally.

The lakers need to make an adjustment to win this series. Instead of shooting so many jumpshots, they need to get to the rack. Also, they need to get some post points.

There's a reason why powe had more foul shots than the lakers. He was a beast on the inside. Once the positioning is there all you could do was foul him. You guys could do the same thing with kobe. Post kobe up... he'll get boston in foul trouble.

Also, can't complain about the last foul pierce drew. The previous play kobe drew a week foul on pierce with 38 seconds to go.

Quit complaining and quit shooting jumpshots. Go to the rack and enjoy the free throws.

from what i could tell they started out with kobe posting up, and were more aggressive driving to the rim-early in the game
but they didn't shoot any free throws

you know, I keep reading posts like yours and at first I was like "whatever", but now I am starting to get angry.

basketball is a game of rythm and momemtum and the Lakers were not able to establish either of those until the refs started to actually call the game more balanced the second part of the 4th.

you talk about agressiveness, but do not ackowledge that the Lakers were the agressors last night. yes really! for what is worth:

Celtics:
45 perimeter shots
23 shots in the key
38 free throws

Lakers:
42 perimeter shots
41 shots in the key
10 free throws

good point on the rhythm, for a stretch, it seemed like the lakers were getting called for a foul everytime down, how is anyone supposed to get into a rhythm

does it count as a shot in the key when the player gets fouled?? I'm guessing it doesn't (don't flame me on this i'm not positive). I think that makes a bid difference.

even if this is true numbers can be deceiving. theres no way that the lakers were the aggressors last night. EXCEPT during that crazy run at the end.

while watching the game i saw powe, rondo, allen, pp, and kg all go to the rim hard. the only player i saw on the lakers go hard to the rack was kobe.
